Galaxy Chenille Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Blush

These Galaxy eyelet curtains are woven from yarn-dyed chenille, a pile-faced fabric with a soft, dense surface and a subtle depth of colour that comes from dyeing the yarn before it is woven rather than printing on afterwards. The close-up shows the character of the cloth: a flecked, mottled ground of pale blush and cream with fine golden threads running through it, so the colour shifts gently as the light moves across the folds. Each order is a pair of curtains, and the fabric is fully lined with a room-darkening backing that sits behind the face cloth.

They suit a living room or bedroom where you want to soften daylight and keep a room private after dark. The room-darkening lining makes them a sensible choice for a south-facing window, a bedroom that catches the early sun, or a room used for watching television. The neutral blush and cream tone is easy to place against grey, taupe or warm-white walls and sits comfortably with a soft grey sofa or natural wood floor, as the photographs show. They come in a wide spread of drops and widths, so there is a size for a short window as well as a full-height one.

The header is an eyelet top, which threads straight onto a pole and falls into even, rounded folds without hooks or tape to fiddle with. Chenille is a heavier weight than a plain lining fabric, which helps the curtains hang with body and hold their shape. Sizes run from a 117cm drop up to a 229cm drop across the range, and each width is quoted per pair, so check both the width of your window and the finished drop you want before choosing. If you would like a matching look, there is a Galaxy cushion in the same range to sit alongside them.

Do these curtains block out light?

They carry a room-darkening lining that reduces daylight and helps with privacy after dark, though room-darkening is not the same as full blackout so some light may still enter around the edges.

Is a curtain order one panel or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels, one for each side of the window, from a single purchase.

How do I hang eyelet curtains?

The eyelet header threads directly onto a curtain pole, so there are no hooks or tape to attach and the fabric falls into neat, even folds.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a woven fabric with a soft, raised pile that gives it a plush surface and a heavier weight, which helps curtains hang with body.

Which size should I choose?

Widths and drops run across a wide range, and the width is quoted per pair, so measure both your window width and your desired finished drop before choosing.
